my whahanau story

Going through the war 1935-1945
It’s the year 1935 when world war 2 started. Grandma was just in her teens. She was really scared of the Japanese army bombing the whole country and killing many innocent people.
Brave soldiers risking their lives to protect the citizens of the Philippines.
Grandma was really scared she and other people were forced to hide in tunnels or sewers just to be safe from the Japanese. The Philippines was not really the Japanese’ target it was America but the Americans were too strong for the Japanese.
Grandma lived five years in the tunnels that the city mayor give supplies to so they don’t get cold or hungry in the very cold tunnel.

The whole war ended in the year 1945. The surviving people saw grandma and the others emerge from below safe and sound.
